Space Port Japan – SPACEPORT CITY

SPACEPORT CITY is a new type of transportation hub dedicated primarily for space travel, initiated and released by Space Port Japan Association (SPJ), dentsu, canaria and noiz. It connects traditional means of transportation with commercial space shuttle operation, but also encompasses all functions associated with discovering space and learning about it. From space fashion shows to international conferences, the majority of events, research and business regarding space will be held within its premises.

SPACEPORT CITY

The design of SPACEPORT CITY is based on creating continuity, while retaining identity of each element. Every function is enclosed within a separate spherical volume, and a large roof covered with kinetic solar panels is “hovering” over these buildings, covering also two levels of large plazas – one at the level of departures and one at the level of arrivals.
The wavy landscape of the roof allows to create patios, open-air gardens, and even farmlands in various scale, while providing covered public space for people and other means of personal mobility. Ground floor is dedicated for technical space, crate handling, back offices, and the basement for train station and other transportation spaces. The entire building composes a small ecosystem with internal smart transportation – self driving cars, autonomous train, and electric scooters. Not only employees and visitors but also any items and objects in this building can be spotted and quickly transported to any part of this complex.
There are two external access points – drop-off and pick-up lanes close to the space port security area and another drop off area directly connected to a large parking access which designated primarily for the visitors of the entertainment program. The entire complex is divided based on security requirements, assuring the highest safety without creating too many visual obstructions e.g. some institutions are connected via skybridges only on designated floors.
Families and teams of supporters for space passengers will be able to gather and view the departure and landing from the lounges in the upper floors of each pier. A dynamic design of piers emerges from the main volume of the building, cerebrating the special journey waiting ahead. The organic complex packed within a city-scale circular disk forms a magnificent 5th façade, making the space port recognizable from far away from the space.

Space Port Japan – SPACEPORT CITY

SPACEPORT CITY es un nuevo tipo de centro de transporte dedicado principalmente para viajes espaciales, iniciado y lanzado por Space Port Japan Association (SPJ), dentsu, canaria y noiz. Conecta los medios de transporte tradicionales con la operación comercial del transbordador espacial, pero también abarca todas las funciones asociadas con el descubrimiento del espacio y su aprendizaje. Desde desfiles de moda espaciales hasta conferencias internacionales, la mayoría de los eventos, investigaciones y negocios relacionados con el espacio se realizarán dentro de sus instalaciones.

SPACEPORT CITY

El diseño de SPACEPORT CITY se basa en crear continuidad, al tiempo que conserva la identidad de cada elemento. Cada función está encerrada dentro de un volumen esférico separado, y un gran techo cubierto con paneles solares cinéticos está “flotando” sobre estos edificios, cubriendo también dos niveles de grandes plazas, uno a nivel de salidas y otro a nivel de llegadas.
El paisaje ondulado del techo permite crear patios, jardines al aire libre e incluso tierras de cultivo en varias escalas, al tiempo que proporciona un espacio público cubierto para las personas y otros medios de movilidad personal. La planta baja está dedicada al espacio técnico, el manejo de cajas, las oficinas administrativas y el sótano para la estación de tren y otros espacios de transporte. Todo el edificio compone un pequeño ecosistema con transporte inteligente interno: autos autónomos, trenes autónomos y scooters eléctricos. No solo los empleados y visitantes, sino también cualquier artículo y objeto en este edificio pueden ser vistos y transportados rápidamente a cualquier parte de este complejo.
Hay dos puntos de acceso externos: carriles para dejar y recoger cerca del área de seguridad del puerto espacial y otro área para dejar directamente conectada a un gran acceso de estacionamiento designado principalmente para los visitantes del programa de entretenimiento. Todo el complejo se divide según los requisitos de seguridad, lo que garantiza la máxima seguridad sin crear demasiadas obstrucciones visuales, p. Algunas instituciones están conectadas a través de puentes aéreos solo en los pisos designados.
Las familias y los equipos de seguidores de los pasajeros espaciales podrán reunirse y ver la salida y el aterrizaje desde los salones en los pisos superiores de cada muelle. Un diseño dinámico de muelles emerge del volumen principal del edificio, lo que hace que se celebre el viaje especial que espera. El complejo orgánico empaquetado dentro de un disco circular a escala de ciudad forma una magnífica quinta fachada, haciendo que el puerto espacial sea reconocible desde muy lejos del espacio.
